Works superbly and is completely water tight. Took it down to 90+ feet and had no issues whatsoever. Fit my camera and everything worked like a charm. To those that had issues with fogging, read around. I never used the anti fog and never had an issue but I read around and saw that people were taking the silica gel from dry goods and putting it into the enclosure with the camera and that fixes any moisture that gets in which also prevents fog. I did have fogging after one dive because I had to open the case to swap out the battery which caused moisture from my semi wet hands to leak in. Before I went down on second dive 30 minutes later, fog cleared up and no more moisture.
PROS-
-Works superbly (aka does what it was designed for)
-Fits camera great
CONS-
-Actually I'll start out with a knock on the camera but it is VERY relevant to this enclosure. I have S50 and it does NOT have underwater mode. Colors gets completely lost without a flash or if subject is too far away. That said, spend the extra bucks and get a different camera that has underwater mode and the enclosure that goes with it. FYI, the SD line has Underwater mode.
-Button graphics on camera hard to see with enclosure on. You MUST memorize and know what buttons does what before placed into enclosure.
-[Not as much of a con any more.. See comment] Cannot turn camera off once it is inside enclosure. This wastes TONS of battery power. Had to constantly swap out batteries after every dive. ("Sky and SCUBA" mentioned that you can put the camera manually in sleep mode by pushing "the WB/FUNC button for more than 5 seconds". Naturally even after doing this, you should probably switch batteries after each dive anyway but this would have been handy to know for the longer shallow dives.)
Conclusion
If you are just going snorkeling and won't go below 15', this is an idea solution. Color loss isn't bad at all at that depth and photoshop can bring back any color lost. Also this is an idea solotion if you have a camera that fits this enclosure and can't afford a better camera. Again I have to mention my suggestion that if you have the money, go with a camera that supports underwater mode instead then buy the enclosure that fits it even if you are just snorkeling.
